Engagement, the first step to getting married, the final step of getting settled.

Days had passed in a blur and Mehek had undergone a few beauty spas that enhanced her glow aside from the fact that she glowed due to a certain someone as well.

Currently, she was sitting on the Makeup chair, surrounded by the make up artists and a few of her friends.

Many of her friends were married and now she was going to be, soon.
" We are done!" Announced the Make up artist and Mehek stood up and looked at the lady in front of her.

She couldn't believe it was her own self, the woman who wore casuals and comfort having no care for the world was dressed in a beautiful Sky Blue lehenga and the make up, hair and jewellery everything else was so on point.

As if on cue, her mother entered the room and gasped after taking a good look at her daughter. She looked stunning, definitely owning to the title of star of the evening.

She cleared her throat and said, " Mehek, it's time to go downstairs."

Mehek nodded and soon all her friends along with her sisters and sister-in-laws formed a trail and escorted her down the stairs.

As soon as the song changed to indicate the bride's entry, everyone looked up the stairs. The girls entered one after another and in between them was Mehek held by her sisters on either side. She looked drop dead gorgeous and definitely Jigar's jaw was about to drop on the floor.

His eyes memorised how beautiful she looked and he was sufficed of the fact that this beauty was going to be his, forever.

In no time did she come and stand beside him and the photographer in no time came and requested a few photos.

The bubble was broken and the duo posed as the photographer ordered.

After a variety of photos, family and guests were invited on the stage. Mehek and Jigar, in the middle, surrounded by the guests.

After the photo session, the priest finally declared, " It's time for the ceremony."

Mehek and Jigar inadvertently heaved a sigh of relief and now they were sat on the couch surrounded by their respective sisters, Renuka and Rhea ( Rhea is her sister-in-law) for Mehek and Kinjal for Jigar.

The rings were presented to the duo and Mehek was asked to slid the ring first. She picked up the simple yet elegant platinum band she has selected for Jigar and slid it onto his ring finger, marking her presence in his life.

Jigar's face morphed into a smile as soon as she slid the ring. He liked how elegant his ring was and how she had selected a ring of his choice without any aid.

Now it was Jigar's turn and Mehek's cheeks flushed when he picked up the ring and looked at her for a second. She stared at him when he slid the ring onto her finger and when the claps were heard did she look down at her ring. It was a classic elegant diamond solitaire. She loved it.

Sweets were fed to the pair and distributed and the couple went around the room taking blessings of their elders.

After a bit of mingling around they were back at the couch and Mehek's family had already started calling everyone for the dinner while a few friends and family stuck around in the main hall, entertaining the guests.

Mehek admired her ring and Jigar secretly took glances, seeing if she liked it or not. As far as he could understand, she sure did like it.

A lady dressed in green interrupted the couple's admiring and stood before Mehek who got up and before she could say anything the lady began,

" Hi Mehek, oops Bhabhi, I am Kinjal, Jigar's elder sister. We never got to meet each other before all this and I am sure you must have been a bit taken aback on knowing that there is a sister standing beside him when you never met her."

Mehek nodded.

" Well, I am anyways married but then it doesn't mean we will never meet. We should hang out soon and I'll tell you secrets of my little brother!"

Mehek chuckled while Jigar glared at her.

Kinjal laughed it off and hugged Mehek who was a bit taken aback but reciprocated the hug.

Kinjal looked back and quickly summoned a man onto stage who she introduced as her husband, Anand Modi.

" Congratulations, both of you. Welcome to the family!", Anand said.

Mehek smiled and Jigar hugged his brother-in-law who not so loudly whispered into his ear, " Beta ab to teri band bajna chalu ho gayi!"

Kinjal glared at her husband while Jigar chuckled and Mehek was trying hard to not laugh.

They were cool people and she was ensured that whenever they would be around, it would all be fun.

Soon the lost photographer made his presence known and clicked a picture of the four and again succumbed the couple for a few pictures with the rings on!


To say the photographer made them regret ever wishing to photograph the event was not false!

They obeyed his commands and by the time they were called for dinner, the photos were done and the couple was thoroughly exhausted.

By the time the guests bid goodbye, the families were tired and lounging in the living room of Mehek's house where the ceremony took place.

Aditya, smiled at Mahesh and said, " We really loved how beautiful the ceremony was given the time span was very less."

Mahesh smiled and patted the backs of his sons, " They made my work far easy than I thought it would be!"

Aditya smiled, " Let's call the priest tomorrow before we leave and finalise the dates for marriage. As it is things on phone can get confusing."

Mahesh nodded while Mehek gulped.

Maybe she was not as ready for the big step as they thought she was!
